Thanks for your comments. I was going to go to taller gearing until I read your post. I like the better throttle response of lower gearing. At Interstate speeds even with the lower gearing the wind and even over passes cause the bike to loose speed. Must be lots worse with taller gearing.

One thing that really surprised me was how little vibration the engine transmits to the grips. The foot pegs get a little buzzy at high rpms, but the bike has less vibration then my Harley Fatboy.

Looking forward to getting to my summer home and shop so I can start the Bluecollorbobbers cafe build. I am really pleased with the little ninja. Just hate the fairings. But hey that is just me.
